Through the practice of corporate citizenship, we seek to enable healthier, safer and more fulfilled lives for all. But the way we practice corporate citizenship today represents a significant departure from the early days of private philanthropy that began at the turn of the 20th Century. No longer limited to addressing the personal concerns – however noble – of wealthy individuals, 21st century corporate citizenship is a globally inclusive undertaking that depends on networks and partnerships to help manage challenges that no single entity can tackle alone.
